Week In Deadspin: Projectiles In Boston
• In Fenway they throw pizza, and in Toronto they throw beer. • Kids, this is what happens when you aren't good at soccer. • Pete Carroll is in much better shape than Will Ferrell. • Free Darko took us into the playoffs. • Bud Selig solves all racial inequality. • No-hitters are the best. • "Hey, ca...
Bill Hall Is Smarter Than The Average Centerfielder
Back when we lived in St. Louis, we made the mistake of parking our car before a Rams game in the rooftop garage for the Gateway Arch, which is technically federal property. This was not necessarily a problem until we popped open a beer for a tiny, sad little tailgate. Within a matter of seconds, th...
Want To Boo Someone, Eagles Fans? Try The Team Accountant
See, this is what the Eagles get for naming Andy Reid's son the new team accountant. Eagles running back Brian Westbrook was owed a $3 million roster bonus this off-season, and the Eagles paid it to him... twice....

Wha? • The new ombudsman bitch-slaps Schrutebag. • Not a good week for ESPN Fantasy Games. • Maybe you should sit a few plays out, big guy. • Rem...
Cleveland's Wacky Home Game In Milwaukee
As you know, thanks to all the freaking snow in Cleveland, the Indians "hosted" the Angels in Milwaukee yesterday, and Indians fans Mistake By The Lake were there. It was a bizarre afternoon all around, with the scoreboard showing Cleveland news headlines, a misplaced sausage race and, most amusingl...
So It Goes, Drew Bledsoe
So not to be a big freaking cliche or anything — "My Gosh, the inexorable forward march of time sure does strike me, as someone in my mid-twenties/early-thirties, as something that is unique and particular only to me!" — but seriously, though: The fact that Drew Bledsoe retired yesterday legitimatel...
Week In Deadspin: We Can Watch Baseball Again
• Baseball's back! • Bill Simmons, staying above ground. • Nothing is funnier than when Frank Thomas pegs a child. • Even though the team's not looking so hot right now, Cardinals fans remain the best. • Beer bong! • Don't fag out on us now, Packer. • We never made it to Atlanta, but Florida didn't ...
The Sad Aftereffect Of The Chinese NFL Cancellation
As we mentioned yesterday, the schedule NFL game between the Patriots and Seahawks in China has been canceled. That's good news for each team's players and coaches, whom we suspect had little desire to break from training camp and head to freaking China....
Why The Terrorists Hate Us, Reason No. 131: The 12-Person Beer Bong
If the Milwaukee Brewers don't do one other thing in the entire future of their franchise (and there's a possibility they won't), it just doesn't matter. Their legacy is secure and we call them heroes; for they have already given us the wonder of racing sausages, and the greatness that is the 12-per...
Week In Review: Yes, Virgina, There Is A Final Four
• Screw off, Selig. • Goodbye, George Solomon. • Peyton Manning blows us away with his ability to be vaguely amusing. • Look what happens when you get these guys together in a room. • Dance, Gus Johnson, dance. • Duke ladies. • See ya, Joe Theismann. • You, too, can coach the Wolverines. • David Hir...
Your NL Central "Preview"
Look, guys: We didn't pick the Cardinals! (We still think they'll win the wild card.) Yes, our flirtation with the Brewers continues; we actually picked them to win the wild card at midseason last year. So there's that....
Seriously, You Should Be Very Honored, Mountainers
We'd like to congratulate the West Virginia Mountaineers on their NIT championship last night; that's something that can never be taken away from them. In fact, fans can buy the officially licensed T-shirt above. Truly, it's quite an honor....
Do Not Judge Trump Until You've Walked A Mile In His Hair
Donald Trump's hair is back in the news, this time putting its very existence on the line in some sort of bet with not-crazy-in-the-least WWE frontman Vince McMahon. It's actually a pretty boring proposition; if McMahon's chosen wrestler wins the match, The Donald must shave his head. If Trump's goo...
Ronald, Wooden And Some Teenagers
Last night was the McDonald's All-American Game in Louisville. It attracts a colorful, surreal crowd....
Week In Deadspin: Live Forever
• Barbaro ... the Chee-to! • Ahhhhhhh! • Iowa wants to control exactly who wants to fire their coaches. • Boy, the NIT sure is exciting. • Don't worry, you're not weird for reading more ESPN than FoxSports. • If you have a low seed, you will take your rat hotel and you will LIKE it. • Tony LaRussa s...
